Summary
The Nordic region consists of some of the wealthiest nations in Europe - Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden have seen sluggish growth in recent years, following this trend across Europe. Regional growth for 2014 was on average 1.4%, with Norway experiencing the highest growth because of continuing oil and gas profits. Consequently, this is reflected in the number of outbound trips among Nordic tourists, reaching 43.2 million in 2014, an increase of just 2.9%
Key Findings
- Regional cooperation among Nordic states is one of the strongest across the globe with formal unity among states relating to trade, the environment, defense, and tourism. As Nordic tourists have consistently visited their Nordic neighbors, the region has increased internal travel because of the Nordic Passport Union, which allows citizens of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland to travel without any travel documentation
- With familiar settings and culture, the trend of traveling to neighboring Nordic countries is likely to continue. However, Nordic nationals have a tendency to spend far less on these trips, whereas at long-haul destinations they are one of the top spenders in Europe. With high income earnings set to continue alongside lengthy public holidays, there are plenty opportunities for European tourist boards to tap into this market; especially for top outbound destinations Germany and Greece
